Teeth whitening is a dental procedure that lightens the shade of your teeth by removing surface and deep stains, using a bleaching agent applied and monitored by a dentist. Putramahkota Dental Clinic provides dentist-supervised teeth whitening for patients in Mahkota Cheras and the surrounding area, including Bandar Sungai Long.
How Teeth Whitening Works
Teeth whitening treatment typically involves applying a bleaching gel to the teeth, either in-clinic under dentist supervision or through a take-home kit prescribed by your dentist. Your dentist will first assess your teeth and gums to confirm whitening is suitable for you before treatment begins.
Who Teeth Whitening Is Suitable For
Teeth whitening is generally suitable for patients with healthy teeth and gums who are looking to reduce staining from food, drinks, or age-related discoloration. It is not suitable for everyone — patients with certain dental conditions, fillings, crowns, or pregnancy may need to wait or choose an alternative. A consultation with your dentist will confirm whether whitening is right for you.
What to Expect After Treatment
After whitening, some patients experience mild, temporary tooth sensitivity. Your dentist will advise on aftercare, including avoiding heavily pigmented foods and drinks (such as coffee, tea, and red wine) for a short period to help maintain results.
